The Donner Party expedition is one of the most notorious stories in
all of American history. It's also a fascinating snapshot of the
westward expansion of the United States, and the families and
individuals who sacrificed so much to build new lives in a largely
unknown landscape. From the preparation for the journey to each
disastrous leg of the trip, this book shows the specific bad
decisions that led to the party's predicament in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. The graphic novel focuses on the struggles of the Reed
family to tell the true story of the catastrophic journey.
This popular topic is a perfect addition to the Nathan Hale's
Hazardous Tales brand, and a great showcase for Hale's storytelling
skills.
Praise for "Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Donner Dinner
Party"
"This informative graphic novel capitalizes on enticingly gross
history to great effect, balancing raw facts with strong
storytelling."
